Nay. But interested in how this game goes.
Also keeping a close eye on FL LSU. Can’t believe FL fell into a decent backup when their ”savior”, Franks, got hurt.
As overrated as Michigan is with their record, I think FL gives us a run for our money with their 6-0.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
Fell? Maybe other programs just have better QB coaching than us.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
I guess I used the word “fell” because it wasn’t by choice.
Franks was very underwhelming, and I don’t give as much credit to coaches when they are forced to do something that works, instead of doing something that works by choice.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
How would we know, Harbaugh refuses to bench Patterson.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:11 PM ^
I'm feeling blowout LSU, but who knows.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
Living in FL, I have to be aware of the teams to combat all the SEC propaganda.
That being said, the FL defense is legit. I think that alone will keep it close. Couldn’t believe how they slowed down Auburn last week, and this has a similar feel, minus the freshman QB... although it is Burrow’s first year as well.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
I think it’s his second year, but I agree.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
Damn, your right, it is his 2nd year. I didn’t have any memory of him playing last year and just figured it was the redshirt after transferring from OSU.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
Stanley ran into that second sack. He didnt need to come out of the pocket
and on the first one, he had an uncovered receiver going across the middle, like 15 yds deep
October 12th, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
Yeah.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
They look like Oregon.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
My eyes!
Looking at these Iowa uniforms is awful. Not as bad as these Penn State uniforms. But bad.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^
Agreed, PSU’s are so thin, Iowa’s are just wierd...Iowa could be awesome with a mostly black theme
October 12th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
Kirk ferentz? Who are you anymore? Go for it on 4th?
October 12th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
A John O’Neill reffed game!
PSU is gonna lose for sure.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
Is that John O’Neill?
PSU should have their shittin pants on.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:06 PM ^
Ahhh, shittin pants. When you know the moonshine and pickled bologna are gonna kick in later...
October 12th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
The good news is that means he probably won't do our game next week. I doubt the B1G has the same crew do Penn State games back to back.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
The jersyes are fun.
Baylor survives 2OT better than Georgia. 33-30 over TT.
ND-USC is a good defensive so far. Both teams look fast.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
I keep hearing Nate Stanley is going to be in the pros. Why?
October 12th, 2019 at 8:37 PM ^
Jim Sorgi spent 5 years on NFL rosters.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
Tim Dwight was a scary mo’ fo back in the late 90’s
October 12th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
Penn State's open field tackling looks like ass.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
Watching Iowa's offense is like watching paint dry.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:29 PM ^
Yeah but their defense is absolutely dominating PSU. Kind of explains 10-3 a bit.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
Without the paint thinner fumes to inhale.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
Yay. Bc they will affect PSU’s vision
October 12th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
I love that the kids there in the hospital there get to watch games and events in the stadium.
October 12th, 2019 at 11:28 PM ^
Do they all get binoculars?
October 12th, 2019 at 8:11 PM ^
Actually the Iowa jerseys look like our all maize uniforms.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:11 PM ^
Kinnick Iowa heh heh heh
October 12th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
October 12th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
tbh, I think Michigan would benefit if they a) went to chair backs throughout the stadium and b) enclosed the South End Zone (leave the view of downtown to the North). If you've been to Penn State, as an example, it's loud partly because of the enclosure. I've been to Baton Rouge and it's not dissimilar. Bowl stadium issues. While there is a legit brie and chablis vibe to some sections (not Section 40, btw) a big part of the noise issue is retention.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
Both Penn State and Notre Dame look exceptionally shitty on offense tonight, making me have untoward thoughts.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:31 PM ^
Defensive game kills the flow of the game. Thats why I love it. Its chaos!
October 12th, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
Iowa needs to run off Wirfs more
October 12th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
I'm sad that I'm jealous of LSU's offense. I didn't think I'd see the day.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
Our defense might be able to get some pressure on Clifford. Makes me feel a tad bit better about next week.
gotta come out amped tho which under Harbaugh is a big fat question mark on the road.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
If we come out with good energy AND hold onto the ball - we beat Penn State, Notre Dame and Sparty.
Not opining past that...
October 12th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
If the first quarter in Iowa is truly indicative, next week could look like last week.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Pretty easy to root for Iowa here.
1) We should generally root against our division rivals out of division
2) It would make us look better
3) They seem like a generally likable program
4) ...and PSU, well...
October 12th, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
I usually root for Iowa when they're not playing us. I like the sort of ball they play and instead of raping kids they let them watch the game from their hospital rooms.
Also their fans have been decent whenever I've encountered them.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
Better for us to play PSU after a loss or after a win?
October 12th, 2019 at 8:22 PM ^
Loss. I don't buy the argument that losses are "wakeup calls." We never say that about us when Michigan loses.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:26 PM ^
I forget which year but I remember OSU losing to MSU the week before they played us. And holy fuck did they ever take out their anger against our team.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
2015. Zeke Elliott ran wild. They were always the better team though.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:31 PM ^
It also didn't help that our DC was interviewing for another job that week.
October 12th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
You're right. We were never winning that game.
October 12th, 2019 at 9:09 PM ^
We are fucked if Penn State loses tonight.
